How does guideline adherence differ between licensed physiotherapists and internship students? 3. What are the most significant barriers to using these guidelines (e.g., lack of time or resources)? Researchers will compare responses from: * Licensed physiotherapists\*\* (with ≥1 year of experience) * 4th-year physiotherapy students\*\* (during internships) to understand differences in compliance. Participants will: * Complete an online survey about their: * Use of guideline-recommended interventions (e.g., task-specific training, technology). * Attitudes toward evidence-based practice. * Perceived barriers to applying the guidelines.
